#FranceAtlanta2021 | Francophone Crossings: Women in Transatlantic Conversations, Part II – Corps à Coeur by Fabienne Kanor

Francophone Crossings brings together the unique and creative voices of Fabienne Kanor (Martinique) and Charline Effah (Gabon) for a two-part program. The program will be moderated by Anny-Dominique Curtius (University of Iowa), Gladys Francis (Georgia State University) and Cheryl Toman (University of Alabama).

The second part of the program features Fabienne Kanor that she has entitled, “Corps à Coeur.” Kanor will begin her hour-long program by sharing her highly innovative and moving performance piece, “Corps de l’histoire,” followed by a talk on her haunting literary work, Humus, in which women’s voices are prominent in the construction of a collective memory of slavery.

Please note that the first part of this program, entitled Transcendances and featuring Charline Effah, will take place October 27 at 12:00 p.m.

This online event is free and open to the public.

This event is organized by the University of Alabama, Georgia State University, the University of Iowa, and with the support of the Atlanta Office of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States, FLAGS (Foreign Language Association of Graduate Students), The French Club @ Georgia State University and Engaging the Francophone World.
